Manitou Street is an established neighborhood and known for it's canopy of trees and history. The home is located two doors from the historic Rolvaag House (the original home of Ole Rolvaag who wrote the book, Giants of the Earth.) An easy walk to Way Park or St. Olaf College (and a quick drive to Carleton College or downtown Northfield.) Close by and right in the neighborhood (just a 2 1/2 block walk) is the famous Ole Store Restaurant, a favorite hangout for college students, their visiting families and the locals. They serve a great breakfast menu and are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner all week long. Brick Oven Bakery is also a favorite of ours with good coffee, breads, pastries, and lunches! The community of Northfield has everything you need, including a very quaint and thriving downtown shopping and dining district. Some of the dining options include: Goodbye Blue Monday Coffee, Little Joy Coffee, Caribou Coffee, The Hideaway Coffee Shop, Tandem Bagels, Cake Walk, Hogan Brothers, Tokyo Grill, Fielder's Choice, George's, Basil's, B & L's, The Contented Cow, and Reunion.. These all great places to find food and drink! Downtown Northfield is a thriving historic district with many unique shops including The Rare Pair, Content Book Store, The Measuring Cup, The Sketchy Artist, The Northfield Arts Guild gift shop, MakeShift Accessories, The Eclectic Goat, Northfield Oil and Vinegar, and much more! Bridge Square is the center of the historic downtown next to the Old Ames Mill waterfall and riverwalk area. The Northfield Historical Society is the home of a museum and located in the old First National Bank (where the famous Jesse James raid took place in 1876.) The Northfield and Dundas area also have three fabulous brew pubs: Imminent Brewing, Tanzenwald, and Chapel Brewing. The apartment is located in a lovely neighborhood in the NW part of Northfield (close to St. Olaf Avenue and Way Park.) It is four blocks from the St. Olaf College campus and 9 blocks from the Carleton College campus. You can get around town by car or bike easily. The city of Northfield is also only 45 minutes from Minneapolis/St Paul airport. There are great hiking paths around both campuses. St Olaf College has the Norway Valley Trail for a short hike and the Prairie Loop that is a great long walk or running path. The upper and lower Carleton Arb is a wooded path that expands from the north end of campus, that is great for walking, running or cross country skiing. There is also a new 3-mile bike trail from Northfield to the nearby city of Dundas (the trail begins behind Walgreens!) We can provide parking for one car.
